    Well, I tried changing the CPU NB frequency to 2800MHz like it said in the guide and now my system won't boot at all. It is in a constant state of turning off and on. With no visual output to my monitors. Did I blow something?

    I tried both methods and, unfortunately, no difference. Still had a failure to boot message. I tried using XMP and changing timings and voltages manually, also changed NB voltage +.05-0.1V from stock. Oddly enough, there is no "enable DOCP/EOCP" option in my BIOS. Should I delve into...

    Hello, My DDR3 1866 is posting at 1333. I have gone into BIOS and used the XMP to change it, but when I do, I get a failure to boot message and have to go back to 1333. I have also done it manually, but I get the same message. How do I go about correcting this.? Build Mobo...

    AMD FX 4130 or FX 4350

    Thanks guys. I appreciate your help. I might look into the 8320. Do you highly recommend that aftermarket cooler?

    AMD FX 4130 or FX 4350

    This is the current MB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636 All cooling is stock. Have had the same build for about 2.5 years now minus my gpu (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1157&pid=1547&lid=1), just looking for a semi-cheap...

    AMD FX 4130 or FX 4350

    Looking to upgrade cpu, but also looking for the best deal. Right now, I can get the 4130 for 59.99 + tax or the 4350 for 119.99 + tax. What would you guys suggest? I was leaning towards the 4130 due to price/performance. If it would be a bad choice, let me know. Thanks!
